Notice that there is now a 90% tax bracket in the U. S.. This
bracket
is somehow related to "executive pay" or "executive bonuses". I do not
know the details. Welcome to an overwhelming Democrat majority in our
federal government. We look more and more like Europe every minute.
There are taxes designed to punish success in Europe left and right.
This is how they get ya. Public outrage over public money being used
to pay off a bunch of losers who should get docked for their
performance, not rewarded has been whipped up by the media and our
representatives. After things settle down people will not realize the
90% tax bracket on income that suddenly appeared.
This is how the income tax started. In 1905 people who made over
$50,000 a year or more had to pay 5% to the government. That sounds
reasonable in 1905 dollars. That must be like a million now. I'll have
to find that calculator again. Every chance they get, they will lower
the minimum and raise the percentage until voters squeal. Then they
take one more bite just for good measure.
This progression in baby steps is called nickel and diming. The best
time to get all this crazy trillion dollar spending done is when the
fan is covered in shit and the populous is scared. Who cares if it
doesn't fix anything because the normal business cycle will take care
of that. Or not. If not, someone gets another shot at spending a bunch
of money. Remember the Republicans and their version of fiscal
responsibility? I do. My wallet still hurts.
What is the solution when you do not trust your government to have your best interest at heart? There are several. You can vote the bastards out. That hasn't work so far. You can over throw the government. That won't work because so many governments would pounce on an internally week U. S. that you would simply end up bringing her down for no good reason. You could vote in a tyrant. That causes stability many times, but no one but the tyrant gets what they want for a long time.
Well, I'm out of ideas. Any help is appreciated.
